Last War Survival Farhad Guide: Skills, Gear, and Best Use

Farhad is an SSR Tank attack hero in Last War Survival who deals Physical Damage. His kit focuses on increasing his personal Attack and launching multiple missiles at random enemies.

Farhad is mainly useful during early progression. He can temporarily occupy a frontline position while helping the squad deal additional damage. His multi-hit Tactics skill is especially useful when fighting enemy formations with several targets.

However, Farhad lacks the defensive abilities normally expected from a permanent frontline hero. He does not have healing, shielding, crowd control, or team-wide protection, so stronger SSR and UR heroes will eventually replace him.

This Last War Survival Farhad guide covers his skills, gear priority, best position, recommended formations, strengths, weaknesses, and whether he is worth upgrading.

Farhad Overview

Farhad is an SSR hero with the Tank vehicle type and Attack specialty. He deals Physical Damage and is generally used as an early-game frontline attacker.

Detail	Farhad Information
Hero	Farhad
Codename	Sand Hawk
Rarity	SSR
Vehicle Type	Tank
Specialty	Attack
Damage Type	Physical Damage
Recommended Position	Front Row
Main Strength	Multi-hit missile damage
Best Stage	Early game
Best Content	Campaign and multi-enemy PvE battles
Long-Term Priority	Low
Formation Role	Temporary frontline attacker

At Level 60, Farhad’s listed base stats are approximately 2,200 Attack, 47,500 HP, 355 Defense, and 213 March Size. Actual values can vary based on hero level, star level, skills, gear, buildings, research, decorations, and other account bonuses.

What Role Does Farhad Play?

Farhad is an offensive Tank hero who can temporarily stand on the front row.

His Precision Aim passive increases his personal Attack, while Missile Valley launches several missiles at random enemies. This allows Farhad to absorb some early damage while contributing more offense than a traditional defender.

Farhad can help when a new account needs:

• A temporary frontline hero
• Additional Physical Damage
• Multi-target pressure
• Another Tank hero for formation bonuses
• A placeholder while stronger heroes are developed

Farhad should ideally stand beside a dedicated defender. His skill set does not include reliable damage reduction, healing, or shields, so he may struggle when expected to protect the entire formation alone.

Is Farhad a Tank or an Attacker?

Farhad belongs to the Tank vehicle type, but his combat specialty is Attack.

These two classifications describe different parts of the hero:

Classification	Farhad’s Role
Vehicle type	Tank
Combat specialty	Attack
Damage type	Physical Damage
Practical role	Frontline attacker or off-tank
Main purpose	Personal damage

Farhad contributes to Tank formation bonuses because of his vehicle type. However, his skills are designed to increase damage rather than provide defensive support.

He should not be compared directly with heroes such as Murphy, Williams, Scarlett, or Violet. Those heroes are more suitable for absorbing sustained frontline damage.

Is Farhad a True Frontline Defender?

Farhad can stand on the front row during early progression, but he is not a true defensive hero.

A dedicated defender normally provides one or more of the following:

• Damage reduction
• Increased Defense
• Shields
• Healing
• Team-wide protection
• Enemy damage reduction
• Defensive buffs for nearby heroes

Farhad does not provide these effects. His survivability mainly comes from his base stats, levels, gear, research, and Super Sensing bonus.

Use him as a temporary frontline damage dealer rather than a permanent defensive solution.

How Long Is Farhad Useful?

Farhad is mainly useful while the hero roster is incomplete.

Progression Stage	Farhad’s General Role
Early game	Frontline attacker
Early campaign	Multi-hit damage dealer
Early Arena	Temporary off-tank
Mid-game transition	Secondary squad hero
Developed roster	Low-priority filler
Late game	Rarely used in the main squad

His value decreases as players unlock heroes with higher stats, stronger skills, and better team utility.

A highly developed Farhad may temporarily outperform a newly unlocked hero. However, he should usually be replaced once the stronger hero has enough levels, stars, skills, and gear.

Farhad Skills

Farhad’s skill set focuses on Physical Damage, personal Attack, multi-hit missile attacks, and basic stat improvements.

Skill	Type	General Effect
Missile Strike	Auto Attack	Deals Physical Damage to one enemy
Precision Aim	Passive	Increases Farhad’s Attack during battle
Missile Valley	Tactics	Fires multiple missiles at random enemies
Super Sensing	Expertise	Increases Farhad’s HP, Attack, and Defense

Exact skill effects may change depending on skill level, star level, server version, and future balance updates.

Missile Strike

Missile Strike is Farhad’s normal attack.

At its listed base value, Farhad fires a missile that deals Physical Damage equal to 60.10% of his Attack. The skill has a cooldown of approximately 1.55 seconds.

Upgrade Stage	Additional Damage
First upgrade	20%
Second upgrade	45%
Third upgrade	70%
Fourth upgrade	100%
Fifth upgrade	150%

Missile Strike provides regular damage between Missile Valley activations.

Because its damage scales with Farhad’s Attack, the skill benefits from:

• Precision Aim
• Cannon or Turret equipment
• Tank Center bonuses
• Hero levels
• Research
• Decorations
• Other Attack bonuses

Missile Strike only hits one enemy. It provides steady damage but does not offer the same multi-target pressure as Missile Valley.

Is Missile Strike Worth Upgrading?

Missile Strike is worth upgrading when Farhad remains in an active formation.

However, it should not normally receive the first Skill Medals. Missile Valley and Precision Aim provide more important improvements to Farhad’s overall damage.

Prioritize Missile Strike when:

• Missile Valley is already developed.
• Precision Aim has reached a useful level.
• Farhad remains in the main formation.
• Skill Medal costs are still affordable.
• Additional regular damage will help clear current content.

Stop investing when Farhad moves into a secondary squad or is close to being replaced.

Precision Aim

Precision Aim is Farhad’s passive Attack skill.

At its listed base value, it increases Farhad’s Attack by 9.20% during battle. Each additional upgrade increases the effect by another 3%.

Upgrade	Personal Attack Bonus
Base effect	+9.20%
First upgrade	+3%
Second upgrade	+3%
Third upgrade	+3%
Fourth upgrade	+3%
Fifth upgrade	+3%

At maximum listed improvements, Precision Aim can provide approximately 24.20% additional Attack.

This passive improves both Missile Strike and Missile Valley because both skills calculate their damage from Farhad’s Attack.

Why Precision Aim Matters

Precision Aim is one of Farhad’s most useful skills because it improves all of his offensive abilities.

A direct Attack bonus helps:

• Increase regular attack damage
• Improve every missile from Missile Valley
• Increase the value of offensive gear
• Strengthen single-target performance
• Improve Farhad’s total battle damage

The passive remains active throughout the battle and does not rely on a cooldown.

However, Precision Aim only affects Farhad. It does not increase the Attack of other Tank heroes or provide a squad-wide bonus.

Missile Valley

Missile Valley is Farhad’s main Tactics skill.

At its listed base value, Farhad launches four missiles at random enemy units. Each missile deals Physical Damage equal to 102.60% of his Attack. The skill has a cooldown of approximately nine seconds.

Upgrade Stage	Improvement
Base effect	Fires four missiles
First upgrade	Deals 20% additional damage
Second upgrade	Adds two missiles
Third upgrade	Additional damage increases to 45%
Fourth upgrade	Adds another two missiles
Fifth upgrade	Additional damage increases to 70%

At maximum listed improvements, Missile Valley can launch up to eight missiles.

This gives Farhad useful multi-hit damage, especially during early battles containing several enemies.

How Missile Valley Targeting Works

Missile Valley selects random enemy units.

This creates both advantages and disadvantages.

The skill can:

• Damage several enemies during one activation
• Finish weakened targets
• Pressure both frontline and back-row units
• Concentrate several missiles on the same target
• Provide useful damage in multi-enemy stages

However, random targeting may also produce inconsistent results. Farhad cannot guarantee that every missile will hit the weakest or most dangerous enemy.

This makes Missile Valley less reliable when the squad must eliminate one specific target immediately.

When Is Missile Valley Most Effective?

Missile Valley performs best when:

• The enemy formation contains several units.
• Multiple enemies have already taken damage.
• Farhad survives for several skill cycles.
• Precision Aim is developed.
• Farhad has a suitable offensive weapon.
• The squad does not depend on focused targeting.

It can also contribute against single targets because the available missiles have fewer possible targets. However, Farhad does not have a specialized boss or monster damage passive, so dedicated PvE attackers may still perform better.

Super Sensing

Super Sensing is Farhad’s Expertise skill.

It increases his HP, Attack, and Defense by 10%.

Stat	Listed Bonus
HP	+10%
Attack	+10%
Defense	+10%

The Attack increase improves Missile Strike and Missile Valley.

The HP and Defense bonuses help Farhad survive when positioned on the front row. This is important because his other skills do not provide direct defensive protection.

How Valuable Is Super Sensing?

Super Sensing provides a balanced improvement to Farhad’s performance.

Its Attack bonus strengthens his offensive role, while HP and Defense help compensate for his lack of defensive skills.

However, the skill only affects Farhad. It does not protect his frontline partner or provide bonuses to the rest of the formation.

Super Sensing is useful, but it should normally be upgraded after Farhad’s main damage skills.

Best Farhad Skill Upgrade Priority

Farhad’s skill priority should focus on Missile Valley and Precision Aim.

General Skill Priority

Priority	Skill	Reason
1	Missile Valley	Provides Farhad’s strongest multi-hit attack
2	Precision Aim	Improves all damage through additional Attack
3	Missile Strike	Increases regular Physical Damage
4	Super Sensing	Adds general personal stats

Missile Valley should normally receive the highest priority because it defines Farhad’s offensive role.

Precision Aim is the second priority because it improves both Missile Valley and Missile Strike.

Multi-Enemy Skill Priority

For campaign stages and battles containing several targets:

1. Missile Valley
2. Precision Aim
3. Missile Strike
4. Super Sensing

The extra missiles unlocked through Missile Valley upgrades can improve Farhad’s ability to pressure several enemies.

Single-Target Skill Priority

For battles containing one durable enemy:

1. Precision Aim
2. Missile Valley
3. Missile Strike
4. Super Sensing

Precision Aim provides consistent value by improving every attack.

Missile Valley can still deal significant damage, but Farhad lacks a specialized single-target or monster damage bonus.

Frontline Survival Priority

When Farhad is being defeated before using Missile Valley:

1. Super Sensing
2. Precision Aim
3. Missile Valley
4. Missile Strike

This is not the ideal long-term skill order, but additional HP and Defense may help him complete another Tactics cycle.

Before spending more Skill Medals, also consider:

• Giving Farhad better defensive gear
• Pairing him with a stronger defender
• Moving him to a safer position
• Replacing him with a dedicated frontline hero
• Improving Tank research and buildings

How Much Should You Invest in Farhad’s Skills?

Farhad’s Current Role	Recommended Investment
Main early-game hero	Low to moderate
Temporary frontline attacker	Upgrade Missile Valley and Precision Aim
Campaign progression hero	Use practical skill milestones
Secondary squad member	Minimal additional investment
Replaced in the main squad	Stop upgrading
Late-game filler	Use existing development only

Farhad does not need every skill maximized.

Skill Medals become increasingly expensive, and stronger heroes provide better long-term returns. Invest enough to support immediate progression, then redirect resources once Farhad leaves the main formation.

Best Gear for Farhad

Farhad benefits from offensive gear because his kit scales directly with Attack. He also needs enough defensive equipment to survive on the front row.

Gear Slot	Priority	Main Purpose
Cannon or Turret	1	Increases Attack and missile damage
Radar	2	Improves protection against Energy and skill damage
Armor	3	Adds HP and frontline durability
Data Chip	4	Provides additional general stats

Farhad’s weapon provides the most direct improvement to his role. However, Radar and Armor become more important when he cannot survive long enough to activate Missile Valley.

Early-Game Gear

Farhad can use M3 equipment during early progression.

Early Gear	Recommendation
M3 Turret	Equip first for additional Attack
M3 Radar	Equip second for basic protection
M3 Armor	Add when frontline survival is a problem
M3 Data Chip	Lowest priority; use a spare piece

The M3 Turret improves the damage of both Missile Strike and Missile Valley.

M3 Radar and Armor provide basic survivability, which helps Farhad remain active on the frontline.

The M3 Data Chip has the lowest early priority and should only be equipped when a spare piece is available.

Should You Upgrade Farhad’s M3 Gear?

Farhad’s M3 equipment should normally remain at Level 0.

Blue equipment is replaced quickly, while Upgrade Ore remains useful throughout the game. Spending too much Ore on temporary gear can delay important Epic and Legendary upgrades.

A practical early gear approach is:

• Equip M3 gear for its base stats.
• Do not upgrade the M3 Turret.
• Keep Radar and Armor at base level.
• Use the Data Chip only when available.
• Save Upgrade Ore for Epic equipment.
• Transfer stronger equipment to long-term heroes later.

Small upgrades may help with an immediate campaign stage, but they should not become a major investment.

Mid-Game Gear

If Farhad remains active when Epic gear becomes available, he can use M4-A equipment.

Recommended Gear	Main Benefit
M4-A Destroyer Cannon	Major Attack improvement
M4-A Jackal Data Chip	Balanced stat improvement
M4-A Seahawk Radar	Better defensive protection
M4-A Porcupine Armor	Additional HP and durability

The M4-A Destroyer Cannon should normally be Farhad’s first Epic piece. It provides the most direct improvement to his offensive skills.

The M4-A Jackal Data Chip is a suitable second Epic option when Farhad remains in the active formation.

Recommended Gear Upgrade Order

For a standard Farhad build:

1. Destroyer Cannon
2. Seahawk Radar
3. Porcupine Armor
4. Jackal Data Chip

This order balances damage and frontline survival.

Players using Farhad in the back row can use:

1. Destroyer Cannon
2. Jackal Data Chip
3. Seahawk Radar
4. Porcupine Armor

The correct order depends on whether Farhad is dying before activating Missile Valley.

Offensive Farhad Gear Setup

An offensive setup is suitable when Farhad already survives comfortably.

Gear Priority	Purpose
Cannon	Maximum Attack improvement
Data Chip	Additional offensive stats
Radar	Protection from skill damage
Armor	Basic physical durability

This build helps maximize Missile Valley damage but leaves Farhad more vulnerable on the front row.

Use it only when another defender absorbs most of the enemy pressure.

Defensive Farhad Gear Setup

A defensive setup is suitable when Farhad is being eliminated too quickly.

Gear Priority	Purpose
Radar	Protection against Energy and skill damage
Armor	HP and physical durability
Cannon	Maintains useful damage
Data Chip	General stat improvement

This setup does not turn Farhad into a true defender. It only helps him survive long enough to use his skills.

How Much Should You Invest in Farhad’s Gear?

Player Situation	Gear Recommendation
New player using Farhad	Equip M3 gear at Level 0
Main early-game hero	Low offensive investment
Farhad dies too quickly	Add spare defensive equipment
Secondary squad hero	Use transferred gear
Stronger hero is nearly ready	Avoid new gear upgrades
Mid-to-late-game player	Do not craft equipment specifically for Farhad

Gear can be transferred, making it less permanent than spending universal shards or Skill Medals.

However, Farhad should not receive the strongest gear before a more important main-squad attacker or defender.

Best Position and Team Formation for Farhad

Farhad is generally used on the front row during early progression.

His Tank vehicle type and basic durability allow him to absorb some attacks while dealing damage. However, he should normally stand beside a hero with the Defense specialty.

Recommended Formation Structure

Position	Recommended Role
Front Left	Primary defensive hero
Front Right	Farhad
Back Left	Main damage dealer
Back Middle	Secondary attacker
Back Right	Support or third attacker

The primary defender should receive the strongest Armor and Radar.

Farhad serves as an off-tank, contributing additional damage while sharing frontline pressure.

Can Farhad Be Used in the Back Row?

Farhad can be moved to the back row when:

• He cannot survive on the front row.
• Two stronger defenders are available.
• His development is higher than another back-row attacker.
• The stage heavily targets frontline units.
• The account still has a limited hero roster.

Moving him to the back row allows him to use Missile Valley more consistently.

However, Farhad usually competes with stronger damage and support heroes for those positions. Once the roster improves, replacing him will generally provide more value than permanently keeping him in the back row.

Best Frontline Partners for Farhad

Hero	Role with Farhad
Murphy	Strong primary Tank defender
Williams	Durable long-term frontline hero
Scarlett	Accessible SSR defender
Violet	Useful PvE frontline option
Richard	Temporary frontline attacker
Gump	Budget defensive alternative
Any developed defender	Absorbs most incoming pressure

The ideal partner should provide more defensive value than Farhad.

Murphy, Williams, Scarlett, or Violet can absorb the main pressure while Farhad contributes damage from the other frontline position.

Best Back-Row Partners for Farhad

Hero	Benefit
Mason	Accessible Tank damage dealer
Kimberly	Strong Tank attacker
Monica	Resource-farming support
Marshall	General Tank support
Stetmann	Stronger long-term damage
Tesla	Useful damage in a mixed formation
Other developed attackers	Help finish targets damaged by Missile Valley

Farhad’s random missile damage works best when the back row can quickly eliminate weakened targets.

Early-Game Balanced Formation

Position	Hero
Front Row	Farhad
Front Row	Scarlett or Violet
Back Row	Mason
Back Row	Kimberly
Back Row	Monica

This is a practical early formation for players with a developing Tank roster.

Scarlett or Violet provides the main defense. Farhad serves as the offensive frontline hero, Mason and Kimberly deal damage, and Monica supports resource farming.

Budget Tank Formation

Position	Hero
Front Row	Murphy
Front Row	Farhad
Back Row	Mason
Back Row	Kimberly
Back Row	Monica or Marshall

Murphy provides the primary frontline protection.

Farhad adds extra missile damage, while Mason and Kimberly handle most of the squad’s offense. Monica can be used for farming, while Marshall provides better general combat support.

F2P Campaign Formation

Position	Hero
Front Row	Farhad
Front Row	Best available defender
Back Row	Mason
Back Row	Monica
Back Row	Strongest available attacker

This formation is intended for early campaign progression.

Use the strongest heroes available rather than following the lineup exactly. Hero level, stars, skills, and gear are often more important than matching a specific formation.

Mixed Early-Game Formation

Position	Hero Type
Front Row	Strongest defender
Front Row	Farhad
Back Row	Strongest attacker
Back Row	Second attacker
Back Row	Support hero

Farhad does not require a full Tank squad to function.

A mixed formation may perform better when its Aircraft or Missile heroes are more developed than the available Tank heroes.

Mid-Game Transition Formation

Position	Hero
Front Row	Murphy
Front Row	Farhad
Back Row	Kimberly
Back Row	Mason or Stetmann
Back Row	Marshall

This lineup can be used while preparing a stronger second defender.

Once Williams or another long-term frontline hero is developed, Farhad should normally be removed from the main formation.

Secondary Squad Formation

Position	Recommended Role
Front Row	Farhad
Front Row	Spare defender
Back Row	Spare attacker
Back Row	Spare attacker
Back Row	Support hero

After leaving the main squad, Farhad can fill a position in a second or third formation.

Use transferred equipment and existing skill development. Avoid spending additional premium resources on his secondary role.

Should You Force a Full Tank Formation?

A full Tank formation provides useful same-type bonuses, but it is not always the strongest choice.

A mixed squad may perform better when its heroes have:

• Higher rarity
• More star upgrades
• Better skills
• Stronger gear
• More useful abilities
• Better synergy for the selected game mode

Do not keep Farhad in the main squad only to activate a Tank formation bonus. Compare actual battle results before committing more resources.

Best Uses for Farhad

Farhad performs best in early campaign and multi-enemy battles.

Game Mode	Farhad Performance
Early Campaign	Good
Multi-Enemy PvE	Good during early progression
Map Monsters	Moderate
Zombie Battles	Moderate
Wanted Bosses	Limited to moderate
Early Arena	Moderate
Competitive PvP	Low
Main Late-Game Squad	Not recommended
Secondary Squad	Useful as a filler

Early Campaign Progression

Campaign stages are one of Farhad’s best uses.

Missile Valley can damage several enemies during one activation, while his basic Tank durability allows him to temporarily occupy the front row.

Farhad is particularly useful before the account has:

• Two developed defenders
• Three strong back-row heroes
• A complete Tank formation
• Enough UR heroes for the main squad

His performance will decrease as enemy damage and defensive requirements increase.

Multi-Enemy Battles

Farhad performs well against enemy groups because Missile Valley launches several missiles.

The skill can spread damage across the formation or concentrate multiple hits on fewer targets. This creates useful early-game pressure.

Farhad is less reliable when the squad must eliminate one specific enemy immediately because his missile targets are random.

Map Monsters

Farhad can help defeat early World Map monsters.

Precision Aim and Missile Valley provide reasonable damage, but he does not have a specialized monster damage passive. Heroes designed specifically for PvE may eventually produce better results.

Use Farhad when his development is higher than the available alternatives.

Zombie Battles

Farhad can participate in zombie battles during early progression.

He provides damage and some frontline presence, but he does not increase zombie rewards or provide specialized monster protection.

Pair him with heroes that offer:

• Monster damage bonuses
• Resource bonuses
• Strong frontline defense
• Reliable single-target damage
• Team-wide support

Wanted Bosses

Farhad can contribute against early Wanted Bosses because Missile Valley launches several attacks.

However, he does not provide a boss-specific debuff or monster damage bonus. Dedicated attackers and supports will normally become stronger choices.

Test both formations when deciding whether Farhad should remain in the boss squad. Actual performance depends on:

• Star level
• Skill levels
• Offensive gear
• Hero level
• Formation bonuses
• Available alternatives

Early Arena

Farhad can be useful in early Arena battles when the hero roster is limited.

Missile Valley may pressure several enemy heroes, and his frontline placement helps keep attacks away from the back row.

His Arena value decreases as opponents unlock heroes with:

• Crowd control
• Shields
• Healing
• Damage reduction
• Stronger burst damage
• Higher UR stats
• Team-wide defensive effects

Farhad lacks these advanced abilities, making him less competitive later.

Competitive PvP

Farhad has low long-term PvP value.

His random missile attacks can produce useful damage, but he lacks reliable targeting and team utility. He also struggles to survive against developed burst-damage formations.

Use him in PvP only when his levels, stars, skills, and gear are significantly higher than the available alternatives.

Secondary Squads

A secondary squad is Farhad’s most practical long-term role.

Every complete formation needs frontline heroes. Farhad can fill one of those positions without requiring new premium investment.

Give him older equipment and pair him with another spare defender. His purpose is to complete the formation rather than compete with the account’s main heroes.

Farhad Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths	Weaknesses
Useful during early progression	Falls behind stronger heroes
Launches multiple missiles	Random targeting is inconsistent
Personal Attack passive improves all damage	No team-wide buffs
Can temporarily stand on the front row	Lacks dedicated defensive skills
Fits early Tank formations	No healing or shields
Accessible compared with premium heroes	Limited late-game scaling
Straightforward skill priority	Low competitive PvP value
Can move to a secondary squad	Poor long-term resource priority

Farhad’s Main Strength

Farhad’s main strength is his early multi-hit damage.

Missile Valley can launch up to eight missiles after its listed upgrades, while Precision Aim improves the damage of every attack.

This gives Farhad useful offensive pressure during early campaign and Arena battles.

Farhad’s Main Weakness

Farhad’s main weakness is his lack of specialized utility.

His skills do not:

• Protect teammates
• Heal the formation
• Shield the frontline
• Control enemies
• Reduce enemy damage
• Improve squad-wide stats
• Provide specialized monster bonuses

As battles become more difficult, heroes with these effects become more valuable.

How Random Targeting Affects Farhad

Random targeting can help or hurt Farhad’s performance.

It is useful when:

• Several enemies have low HP.
• Any target is worth damaging.
• The battle contains many units.
• Farhad fires enough missiles to pressure the entire formation.

It is less useful when:

• One enemy must be eliminated quickly.
• A dangerous back-row hero needs focused damage.
• Missiles spread across several durable targets.
• The squad depends on predictable targeting.

Players should consider this inconsistency when comparing Farhad with focused attackers.

How Team Development Affects Farhad

Farhad performs better when:

• A dedicated defender stands beside him.
• His Cannon or Turret is developed.
• Precision Aim and Missile Valley are upgraded.
• The back row contains strong attackers.
• The battle includes several enemy units.
• He has higher stars than available replacements.

Farhad performs poorly when:

• He must defend the frontline alone.
• Enemy burst damage is high.
• The battle requires reliable focused targeting.
• Stronger SSR or UR heroes are already developed.
• Premium resources are spent on him instead of long-term heroes.

Is Farhad Worth Upgrading?

Farhad is worth limited investment while he remains part of the main early-game formation.

He can help clear campaign stages and complete an unfinished Tank squad. However, players should treat him as a temporary hero rather than a permanent investment.

Upgrade Farhad When:

• He is currently part of your main squad.
• You need a second frontline hero.
• You are struggling with multi-enemy stages.
• His upgrades remain inexpensive.
• You have Farhad-specific shards.
• Your stronger heroes are not yet developed.
• You need a filler for a secondary squad.

Limit Farhad Investment When:

• A stronger defender is nearly ready.
• He is no longer part of the main formation.
• Your Skill Medals are limited.
• You would need to use universal SSR shards.
• Stronger heroes still need equipment.
• You are focusing on competitive PvP.
• Farhad already performs his temporary role successfully.

Recommended Investment Level

Player Situation	Recommendation
New player using Farhad	Low to moderate
Farhad is a main frontline hero	Upgrade practical milestones
Farhad is an off-tank	Focus on Missile Valley and Precision Aim
Stronger replacement nearly ready	Stop major investment
Secondary squad hero	Minimal additional upgrades
Mid-to-late-game player	Use existing development only

Should You Upgrade Farhad’s Stars?

Star upgrades improve Farhad’s skill effects and overall stats.

Upgrading his stars can be reasonable when:

• You receive Farhad-specific shards naturally.
• He remains part of an active formation.
• The next upgrade is inexpensive.
• The improvement helps clear current content.
• No universal shards are required.

Avoid forcing star upgrades with valuable universal SSR shards.

Farhad has limited long-term value, so universal resources will normally provide a better return when used on heroes with stronger combat performance or promotion potential.

Should You Upgrade Farhad to Five Stars?

Five stars can significantly improve Missile Valley and Precision Aim.

At higher star development, Missile Valley gains more missiles and increased damage. However, reaching five stars requires a large number of shards.

Consider five stars only when:

• Most shards are Farhad-specific.
• He remains active in multiple formations.
• Higher-priority SSR heroes are already developed.
• The upgrade does not delay UR progression.
• You understand that he will eventually leave the main squad.

For most players, stopping at a practical early-game milestone is more efficient.

Should You Use Skill Medals on Farhad?

Use Skill Medals on Farhad only while he actively supports progression.

Prioritize:

1. Missile Valley
2. Precision Aim
3. Missile Strike
4. Super Sensing

Avoid maximizing every skill. Once Farhad moves to a secondary squad, additional Skill Medals provide a low return compared with upgrades for long-term heroes.

When Should You Replace Farhad?

Replace Farhad when a stronger frontline or damage hero is sufficiently developed.

Replacement Type	Main Improvement
Dedicated defender	Better frontline survival
UR Tank hero	Higher stats and stronger scaling
Defensive support hero	More protection for the squad
Focused attacker	More reliable damage
Hero with crowd control	Additional battle utility
Hero with squad buffs	Improves multiple teammates

Do not remove Farhad immediately after unlocking a new hero.

Prepare the replacement by improving:

• Hero level
• Star level
• Skills
• Gear
• Formation position

A developed Farhad may temporarily outperform an undeveloped higher-rarity hero.

Best Farhad Tips

• Pair Farhad with a dedicated defender.
• Use him mainly during early progression.
• Prioritize Missile Valley for multi-enemy battles.
• Upgrade Precision Aim to improve all his damage.
• Equip an offensive weapon first.
• Add Radar and Armor when frontline survival is a problem.
• Keep temporary M3 gear at Level 0.
• Use Farhad-specific shards before universal shards.
• Do not expect Farhad to protect the frontline alone.
• Compare his results with dedicated defensive heroes.
• Use him against formations with several targets.
• Avoid depending on him for precise enemy targeting.
• Replace him gradually as stronger heroes develop.
• Transfer his best gear to the replacement.
• Move him to a secondary squad after leaving the main team.
• Stop major investment once he no longer supports progression.

Mistakes to Avoid

Treating Farhad as a Dedicated Defender

Farhad belongs to the Tank vehicle type, but his specialty is Attack.

He lacks the defensive skills needed to serve as a permanent frontline tank. Pair him with a hero that provides stronger protection.

Using Farhad as the Only Frontline Hero

Farhad may survive early battles alone, but this becomes unreliable as enemy damage increases.

Use two frontline heroes whenever possible. At least one should have the Defense specialty or a strong protective skill set.

Ignoring Missile Valley’s Random Targeting

Missile Valley does not guarantee focused damage.

The missiles may hit several different enemies rather than eliminating one priority target. Use a more reliable attacker when focused targeting is essential.

Expecting Precision Aim to Buff the Squad

Precision Aim only increases Farhad’s Attack.

It does not improve the Attack of nearby Tank heroes or the entire formation.

Prioritizing Missile Strike First

Missile Strike improves regular damage, but Missile Valley and Precision Aim normally provide more value.

Players with limited Skill Medals should upgrade Farhad’s main Tactics skill and Attack passive first.

Upgrading M3 Gear

M3 equipment is temporary.

Equip it for the base stats, but save Upgrade Ore for Epic and Legendary equipment that can support long-term heroes.

Giving Farhad Premium Gear First

Farhad benefits from a strong Cannon, but important main-squad attackers should normally receive the best offensive equipment first.

Use spare or transferable gear on Farhad.

Spending Universal SSR Shards

Farhad-specific shards are the preferred upgrade resource.

Universal SSR shards should normally be saved for heroes with stronger long-term value, better PvP performance, or future promotion potential.

Maximizing Every Skill

Farhad does not need fully upgraded skills to serve as an early-game hero.

Focus on his important damage skills, then stop investing when a stronger replacement is ready.

Keeping Farhad in the Main Squad Too Long

Farhad is a progression hero.

Continuing to use him after stronger defenders and attackers are developed limits the formation’s potential. Move him into a secondary squad instead of trying to solve every weakness with more resources.

Should Farhad be placed in the front or back row?

Farhad is generally used on the front row during early progression. He should stand beside a dedicated defender. Moving him to the back row can help when his frontline durability is too low.

Is Farhad a good frontline tank?

Farhad can temporarily fill a frontline position, but he is not a dedicated defensive hero. He lacks shields, healing, damage reduction, and team-wide protection.

Is Farhad good for campaign stages?

Farhad is useful in early campaign stages, especially when the enemy formation contains several units. Missile Valley allows him to pressure multiple targets.

Is Farhad good against bosses?

Farhad can contribute against early bosses, but he does not have a specialized boss or monster damage skill. Dedicated PvE attackers will usually become better choices.

Is Farhad good for Arena?

Farhad can be useful in early Arena battles. His value decreases later because he lacks crowd control, defensive utility, and reliable focused targeting.

Should I use universal SSR shards on Farhad?

Universal SSR shards are not recommended for Farhad in most situations. Use hero-specific shards and save universal items for higher-priority heroes.

Should I upgrade Farhad to five stars?

Five stars may be reasonable when you receive enough Farhad-specific shards naturally. Avoid forcing the upgrade with universal shards because his long-term priority is low.

When should I replace Farhad?

Replace Farhad when a stronger defender or attacker has enough levels, stars, skills, and gear to outperform him consistently.

Is Farhad useful in a secondary squad?

Yes. Farhad can serve as a secondary-squad frontline filler after leaving the main formation. Use transferred gear and avoid major new investment.

Conclusion

Farhad is a practical early-game SSR Tank attacker in Last War Survival. Precision Aim increases his personal Attack, while Missile Valley launches multiple missiles that can pressure several enemy units.

Use Farhad as an off-tank beside a dedicated defender. Prioritize Missile Valley and Precision Aim, equip him with basic offensive gear, and add defensive equipment only when he cannot survive long enough to use his Tactics skill.

Farhad can help clear early campaign stages and complete an unfinished Tank formation, but his lack of defensive utility limits his long-term value. Avoid spending too many Skill Medals, universal shards, or Upgrade Ore on him, and move him to a secondary squad once stronger heroes are developed.
